Li-Ion Battery Packs
The Li-Ion battery pack provides the main power supply for the terminal. For more information, see Battery
Power on page 3-13.
For information on how to purchase these items, contact a Honeywell sales representative.
Battery Power
The intelligent battery technology inside the terminal features two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-13)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-15)
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 6500 for the first time!
Charge the main battery pack with the Dolphin USB Charging/Communication cable until the LED turns
green (red while charging). The average charge time for a fully depleted main battery is 5 1/2 hours. It
takes less time if the battery has some charge.
Main Battery Pack
Warning:We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
The Dolphin 6500 has a Li-Ion 3.7V/3300 mAh/12.2 Wh battery pack.
The Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal backup
battery.
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press the Power button on the 28-key Dolphin 6500 or press the Blue
then Z (Power) keys on the 52-key Dolphin 6500 to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-16)
so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. The Dolphin 6500 is shipped
with the battery separate from the unit. You will need to loosen the hand strap, remove the battery door,
insert the battery, and replace the battery door. Refer to the instructions included in Installing the Main
Battery section (page 2-1).
Note: The battery door must be installed prior to booting the unit.
